conditions of drying shall be reported. (d) Samples shall be prepared for analysis for total content of substances listed in section 66261.24(a)(2)(B) as follows: (1) type is if the waste or other material is a millable solid, the sample shall be passed directly, or shall be milled to pass, through a one-millimeter standard sieve before it is analyzed. If the sample contains non-friable solid particles which do not pass directly through a one-millimeter sieve and which are extraneous and irrelevant as hazardous constituents to the waste or other material, they shall be removed to the extent feasible by mechanical means and discarded. Solids which remain in the waste or other material after removal of the aforesaid extraneous particles shall be milled to pass through a one-millimeter sieve and shall then be combined and mixed well with the solids which passed through the sieve without milling. The reconstituted sample shall then be analyzed as prescribed in this appendix; (2) type ii: if the waste or other material is a filterable mixture of liquid and solids in which the solids constitute five-tenths (0.5) percent by weight or greater of the sample, the liquid and solids shall be separated by filtration through a 0.45 micron membrane filter. The filtrate so obtained is to be designated as Initial Filtrate. Its volume is determined, and it is retained. The separated solids shall be sieved in a one-millimeter sieve and any nonfriable extraneous particles of the kinds described in subdivision (d) (1) of this appendix which do not pass through the sieve shall be removed to the extent feasible by mechanical means and discarded. The solids which remain after removal of the extraneous particles shall be milled to pass through a one-millimeter sieve and shall be recombined with solids which passed through the sieve without milling. This recombined solid material shall be extracted following the procedure in subdivision (g) of this appendix. A ratio of 10 milliliters of extraction solution per gram of solid shall be utilized with appropriate modifications for extraction vessel size. After completion of solids extraction, the filtered extractant is combined with Initial Filtrate, mixed thoroughly and analyzed as described in subdivision (9)(3) of this appendix; (3) type iii: if the waste or other material is a nonfilterable and nonmillable sludge, slurry, or oily, tarry or resinous material, it shall be analyzed as received unless it contains non-friable extraneous and irrelevant solid particles of the kinds described in subdivision (d)(1) of this appendix. If it contains such solid particles and they are of such size as not to pass through a one- millimeter sieve, they shall be removed to the extent feasible by mechanical means and discarded. The remainder of the sample shall be analyzed as prescribed in this appendix; (4) if it is necessary to dry a solid sample or the solids fraction of a sample before sieving, milling or removal of extraneous solids, or if a sample is dried prior to analysis, all weight losses due to drying shall be determined, and these losses and the conditions of drying shall be reported. (e) If the waste or other material is a liquid containing less than five-tenths (0.5) percent by weight of undissolved solids, it shall not be subject to the WET procedure, but shall be analyzed directly for the substances listed in section 66261.24(a)(2). The waste shall be classified as a hazardous waste if the total concentration in the waste of any substances listed in section 66261.24(a)(2) exceeds the TTLC value given for that substance. If, however, the total concentration is less than the TTLC but exceeds the STLC when expressed on a milligrams per liter basis, the waste or other material shall be filtered through a 0.45 micron membrane filter, the solids discarded and the filtrate shall be analyzed directly for the substances listed in section 66261.24(a)(2). The waste shall be
